About the Pregnancy & Birth Circle
Pregnancy is a significant journey, bringing physical changes, emotional questions, and spiritual opportunities. The Pregnancy & Birth Circle is a small, online gathering for expectant Muslim mothers to connect, share their experiences, and prepare for birth in a supportive environment. Together, we’ll make space for honest conversations, reflection, encouragement, and the questions that arise as we approach birth and motherhood. Our intention is to approach pregnancy and birth with greater awareness, confidence, and reliance upon Allah ﷻ. Come as you are. Your experiences, questions, and hopes are welcome here.
